Last night I received an email from my friend over in Redmond, Todd Biggs, who tells me that they are running a MSN Bot competition.

I have talked about bots in the past and regularly discuss the idea with partners and customers when I meet with them. This competition is going to be a great opportunity to show off what is possible with a bit of programming knowledge and an SDK.

The competition involves downloading an SDK, building your robot and then registering the robot with Microsoft (the latter of which is done but adding a specific contact to Windows Live Messenger and registering your details with one of our bots – how cool is that!).
